I’ve decided to explore using dusty deep mauve-taupe-burgundy roses and sampaguitas to adorn the nude colored cake. I can’t help but be reminded that the flowers evoke the colors of fine red wine. A toast, anyone?

Thanks! 🙂 The Sampaguita flower (Jasminum Sambac) is also known as Philippine Jasmine among other names. It’s a sweetly scented tropical flower which serves as the National Flower of the Philippines. Interestingly enough, further research shows that the Sampaguita (Jasminum Sambac) also serves as a National Flower for Indonesia as well. 🙂

Thanks for stopping and visiting. I’m also a cake decorator – so impressed! You make beautiful roses and those colors pair very nicely together. Did you make this for yourself or do you make your cakes for others?

Thank you! I’m a novice cake decorator aspiring to be a professional one… so far I’ve been making these cakes to give as gifts. My goal now is to practice making more and more roses and exploring the color palette. 🙂
